Ratings: “American Idol” Hits Series Low for Performance Finale (Updated)

Update: According to final broadcast data, Tuesday’s “American Idol,” which was the final performance show of the fourteenth season, drew a 1.3 adults 18-49 rating with 5.55 million viewers.

Both marks are the lowest ever drawn by an original “Idol” episode.
==============

Tuesday’s “American Idol,” which was the final performance show of the fourteenth season, was the series’ lowest-rated and least-watched original edition ever.

Per fast national data, Tuesday’s episode drew a mere 1.2 adults 18-49 rating with 5.49 million viewers in the 9-10PM hour.

While an upward adjustment might come in the finals, it will doubtfully elevate this week’s performance from its series low level. Posted by the April 8 episode, the previous low mark included a comfortably stronger 1.4 adults 18-49 rating with 6.58 million viewers.

Last Wednesday’s performance/results hybrid drew a 1.4 with 6.93 million viewers.
